KEEPING WELL
HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE
DR. FHBDKHH'K R.
Editor of "HEALTH*
1UTANY people have an Idea that
*** high blood pressure is a new die
ease; that there are fixed, definite
standards for blood pressure at differ-
ent ages and that any variation from
these standards is dangerous.
These Ideas are Incorrect.
Blood pressure has existed os long
as life. Harvey recognized it when
he discovered the circulation of the
blood in 1616. Hales proved it In 1773.
The only recent thing about blood
pressure is the Invention of machines
for estimating it easily and accurately.
The force of the blood In the ves-
sels Increases with Increased action of
the pump (the heart) or with increased
obstruction In the pipes (the blood ves-
sels). So blood pressure depends on
the force of the heart's action and the
amount of resistance there Is In the
vessels. These conditions vary.
High blood pressure Is not a disease,
but It Is a sign of something wrong
with the body machinery. Like high
temperature, It may be significant or
insignificant, temporary or permanent.
High blood pressure does not neces-
sarily mean disease of the heart, the
kidneys or the arteries, although In-
creased blood pressure Is present in
hardening of the arteries and In some
forms of kidney nnd heart disease.
There are many conditions In which
high blood pressure Is present without
any hardening of the arteries.
Temporary high blood pressure may
be caused by severe exertion, Intense
emotion, strong excitement or anxiety,
or Intense mental effort.
Permanently high blood pressure Is
often due to some kind of poisoning,
such as infection around the teeth, In
the tonsils, in the accessory sinuses of
the nose, In the gall bladder, or around
the appendix.
A common form of poisoning which
causes high blood pressure is constipa-
tion, especially that form (p which the
bowels move regularly and yet the
large intestine Is not completely emp-
tied.
Excessive use of tea, coffee and al-
cohol has been held responsible for
high blood pressure. Sometimes the
blood pressure Is greatly reduced by
cutting out these beverages.
Tobacco may be responsible In some
cases, but It is probably not an impor-
tant factor.
Meat-eating has no effect.
Probably the most Important cause
Is overweight and the most effective
treatment is to reduce one's weight to
a reasonable amount.
The symptoms of high blood pres-
sure are throbbing In the ears or in
the head, persistent headache, sleep-
lessness, general restlessness and ex-
citement.
Every person over forty should have
his blood pressure taken every six
months; certainly every year, In order
that he may correct any undesirable
habits of living at Hn early stage.

< i'c, State Commander, and
other Hi if h officials of the veter-
ans’ order, was an interested
visitor at C. S. Veterans’ Hos-
pital Nt». Off last Sunday and
spent the entire day looking
over the building and equipment
and in talking to the patients
and attendants.
Mr. Drain is making a tour of
the veterans hospitals ab over
the United States, ami it is un-(
tiers total that his visit here will
have considerable to do with the
hospital passing from State to
National ownership, as his re- j
tmrt on the site and facilities j
band, together with his re* <
encountered in his entire tour.
Commenting on the location,
Mr. Drain stated there was no
better location in the whole
world that he knew of, when
health conditions and natural
scenic beauty were taken into
consideration.
After the inspection tour, Mr.
Drain was the honor guest at a
luncheon given by Colonel Cook.
Mark McGee, State Commander
of the Legion; J. L. Folbre,
State Adjutant; Wayne Davis,
former State Commander; Mrs.
Wright Armstrong, State Com-
mander Legion Auxiliary; W. E.
Register, State Commander of
D. A. V.; Geo. E. Epple, Com-
mander of Louis Halpen Post;
J. C. Robinson, Commander of
Garrett-Baker Post; E. H. Pres-
cott, Ally Beitel and Cecil Rob-
inson, representing the Kerr-
ville Chamber of Commerce; Y.
D. Mathis, Houston; Captain
Hudson, Dallas; Mr. and Mrs.
Maxey Hart and Jack Lutz of
San Antonio, Wm. Hines, Le-
gion. and Senator Julius Real
of Kerrville, were also guests
of Colonel Cook.
Following the luncheon Com-
mander Drain spoke to the pa-
tients in a monster open air
meeting. A speaking stand had
been arranged forjfhe occasion,
but Mr. Drain' piwffhred to get
closer to his audience, so he
stood on the ground with the
audience all around him.
Mr. Drain complimented the
patients on their good fortune
in being permitted access to
such a hospital, telling them
that as far as he knew, they
were receiving treatment at one
o fthc best institutions in the
Nation. He spoke in a compli-
mentary manner of the person
r.el, stating that while condi-
tions were somewhat crowded
he could see that the officers and
attendants were doing all in
their power to make the pa-
tients comfortable.
Mr. Drain then dwelt on the
personal side of their disabili-
ties, telling them in a straight-
forward, sincere manner to
buck up and keep fighting all
the time. Strength, he declar-
ed, comes only through fighting.
National Commander is
an ..opuent talker. He is not
a man who is given to bursts of
oratory. It is the sincerity of
the man that prompted him to
get down among the boys to
sjieak instead of standing upon
the platform, and the words he
spoke carried conviction to his

hearers as coming from the
heart.
Mr. Drain made exhaustive
inquiries into the advisability of
the Government buying the hos-
pital from the State, and inter-
rogated the patients themselves
as well as tne members of the
personnel and the citizens of
this city in order to arrive at a
just conclusion in the matter.
He even went so far as to con-
sult patients who are married
about living conditions in Kerr-
ville for ther families, and while
he did not make a positive state
ir.ent regarding the proposition,
those with whom he talked
could see that he was favorably
impressed with the advisability
of the Government making this
hospital a permanent institution
A large party of Legion offi-
cials from San Antonio, Austin,
Brownwood and other points ac-
companied the National Com-
mander on the visit, all leaving
late in the afternoon for San
Antonio, from which place Mr.
Drain left that night for Mus-
kogee, Oklahoma, where he will
visit the hospital located near
that city.
